7/30/12 Meditating this
morning in Psalm 103, I was overwhelmed with all the aspects of God’s goodness
in my life. I did NOT want to forget them. But God….had a way of reminding me
that once in the past (when there were only 3 grands in my life) I had recorded
many of these. Dotsy’s Blessing Book 2007. Opening it, I was aware of that time
when I was trying so hard not to get caught up in merely “ritual recording”---thus the list of "it doesn't matter" references on the inside cover. Desiring only true gratitude in order to change my focus or OCD behavior, I had to give my self permission.
Such a time has come
again. A continuing change of focus, not just a chronicling of benefits, of which there are many. Beaucoups.
Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, (Psalm 103: 1-2)
Maybe all of us should "think on these things." BENEFITS & BLESSINGS.*
*Recording them is optional.
